Need help/advise locating holes for SS emblems.1967 Camaro

[BillD]

Years ago I purchased full size templates for emblem location on a 68 Camaro. They seemed to work pretty well. I just looked quick and they still seem to be readily available from various vendors. Actually I still have the templates for a 1968 Camaro. If anyone can use them let me know and they are yours.

Thanks Bill, I found a lot of information on this subject on Team Camaro and the consensus was the templates were helpful, but not completely accurate. There are several pictures of emblems on survivor cars and helpful commentary and measurements from others, including Charley. All this dates back 10-15 years and only came up with a search on the forums, not a general web search.

I now know where the emblems should be located relevant to the body line, which has been my biggest concern.
And the planes of placement were explained as well, with the -45 coming forward from the rear of the fender and the 20 being a somewhat arbitrary measurement down from the flange where the fender bolts to the core support. But using the information of distance from the body line and being parallel, I can go back to this fairly confident I will get them very close without using the planes as a guide. The survivor cars weren't all the same and not even side to side, so there is wiggle room and still have them look correct.

I already had the holes drilled for the right fender and after using the chalk line to determine the body line, I put tape on the fender to look at it the emblems again. They were not parallel and a little too high, so I "tweaked " the holes as much as I could to get them as close as possible without welding 6 holes shut and trying to get hardened metal to follow the original compound curves after grinding and sandpaper finishing. They aren't real bad but not where I would like them. Using the same method to find the body line on the left fender, I used my template, cut down to lay on the tape and even with the nose and drilled the holes. Again, not perfect and needing some tweaking, but they are pretty darn good. I did leave that side a tad high too, so the 2 sides didn't appear too unequal.
